As Republicans in the House struggle to scuttle, scrap, de-fundÂ theÂ national health care planÂ that 59% of Americans didn’t want in the first place, Democrats aren’t exactly sitting still and waiting for the ax to fall.Â

Â Â Â One Democrat, Rep. John Conyers (MI), Mr. Black Reparations, has obviously been deep in thought over Obamacare, so deep that he must have been barely conscious when heÂ let slip what Democrats have been denying ever since the Obamanation was conceived.Â Usually more circumspect, the doddering Democrat Conyers must have been overcome by all the attention at the National Press Club when he conceded that, in fact, Obamacare was socialized medicine.Â

Conyers admitted that “Obamacare is just a ‘platform,’ or a step, toward an eventual government takeover of health care.”Â Asked if he ultimately envisioned a single-payer health care system, another term avoided like the plague and denied repeatedly by congressional DemsÂ during the great debate of 2009, he said, â€œOf course.Â Â Universal health careâ€“well, every industrial country on the planet already has a universal system of health care.â€

What Conyers failed to mention was that the primary model for Obamacare, and it’s not Massachusetts’ Romneycare–although that’s bad enough–was Britain’s NHS which is going broke and systems in the other industrialized nations are in a similar pickle.Â

Nevertheless, kudos to Rep. Conyers even if his fleeting moment of honesty was a fluke.Â See his moment here: http://tiny.cc/5a1u0Â

No fluke is President Transparency’s latest attack of opaqueness.Â Â Â Â Â

Our vacationing, partying, golfing, basketball-playing, NCAA-tournament handicappingÂ president is playing it very close to the executive vest when it comes to clandestine health care–don’t dare call it Obamacare to him!–meetings.Â

I guess we should have expected no less than secretiveness onÂ Obamacare–there, I’ve said it!–since the zillion page bill was hammered out entirely by Democrats to the exclusion of virtually any Republican input but the ongoing, back-door approach is, as Breitbart.com’s SusanAnn HillerÂ terms it, still alarming.Â

The Executive Branch is stonewalling on release of the nittygritties on what’s really going on during its health care discussions.Â Â

Hiller points out thatÂ Presidents Clinton and G.W. Bush also elected secrecy, respectively on HillarycareÂ and energy policy confabs, although ObamacareÂ ”is now the law of the land,Â American taxpayers will beÂ footing the entire bill, and will potentially ultimately have their healthcare decisions placed in the governmentâ€™s control.”Â

She asks,Â ”Doesnâ€™t that give us the right to that information trumping the ‘implicate longstanding executive branch confidentiality interests’ excuse?Â And since when does this administration give a hoot about costs, nullifying the argument that theÂ compliance withÂ the records requestÂ â€œwould constitute a vast and expensive undertaking?â€ (http://bit.ly/gtWnvq)Â

All good questions, Ms. Hiller, all of which overlook the obvious, that we are not now dealing with aÂ Bush or even a Clinton.Â We are now dealing with a megalomaniacal, ideologically-driven,Â super-egotistical president who doesn’t give a flying fig about appearances or campaign pledges of transparency or, for that matter, the health of Americans.Â

He and his family, and Congress, aren’t covered by his plan.Â They all are exempt.Â

What inspires and motivates Barack Hussein Obama is anything but the best interests of the American people.Â His inspirations and motivations derive from no other sources but that aforementioned ideology, the dreamsÂ from his Marxist father, and his educationÂ by hisÂ spiritual mentor, the America-hating Communist Saul Alinsky.Â

The easiest approach to all this socialized medicine and executive secrecy on its implementation may simply be to resignedly accept it.Â The only alternative is to resolutely reject it and elect a trueÂ American as president in 2012.Â

For someone who so very much wanted to be in the White House, why are there so few pictures of this vastly underqualified overachiever that do not show him to be angry? Arrogant and smug, yes. Happy? Seldom. Does he sense the writing on the wall?
